Unless you use the Symbian Signed site (but you can't do that with all
applications, only one with application UIDs in the "test" range), the
current thinking is to give your IMEI to some dodgy chinese site and
they pump out a certificate for your phone with which to sign. Seems
to work and doesn't affect firmware updates.
